Opis

This volume demonstrates the novel possibilities in sensing and imaging offered by the assembly of organic dyes into nanoparticles and nanocomposites and by the application of strongly fluorescent noble metal clusters and conjugated polymers.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This book is a comprehensive overview of the different types of nanoscale probes that have been and are currently being developed for sensing of analytes. The timely reference section allows the reader to locate key references to the primary literature for expansion of the material covered. ... a valuable resource that covers the synthetic, photo-physical, and theoretical aspects of this diverse field of research." (Jeffrey T. Petty, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 133, 2011)
